What It Costs Lyrics

Sunlight fading fast, make it last.
Like a flame that flickers, then its passed.
Moonlight fades to dawn, carry on.
You never know what's real until it's gone.
Love deals the currency of life.
Don't ever forget what it costs.

Hold on to me, carry me through.
Our story is the pain that we outgrew.
Yeah, you can't call it love until you've lost.
If you love someone this is what it costs.

This city cries softly at night.
Like a million tear drops from a thousand eyes.
I'm drenched beneath the rainy Melbourne sky.
Wonder why it is I feel so dry inside.
Love uses the pain to drill a hole, and irrigate our dried up, thirsty souls.

Hold on to me, carry me through.
Our story is the pain that we outgrew.
Yeah, you can't call it love until you've lost.
If you love someone this is what it costs.

Sunlight fading fast, make it last.
Sunlight fading fast, make it last.
